DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Field of Industrial Application] The present invention relates to a document editing device that performs editing processing functions such as deletion, movement, and transcription.

(Prior Art) Conventional document editing devices record character strings to be edited, designated by a predetermined operation of a pointing device such as a mouse.
Some devices store documents in a storage area different from the storage area in which the documents of the five devices are stored. In such a document editing device, by specifying a specific location in a document and further specifying a character string that is an editing pair stored in a storage device, the characters targeted for editing can be added to the specific location. You can insert columns.

(Problem to be Solved by the Invention) However, in the conventional sentence aggregation device described above, the number of character strings to be edited and stored in the storage device is limited to one character string. If character strings are deleted consecutively, only the last character string that is exempt from 111 removal processing will be stored, and the first character string that was deleted cannot be used again. . Therefore, if a character string similar to the first deleted character string is required, the characters must be entered again using an input device such as a keyboard, which takes time to edit the document. There is a drawback.

Another edit in the document! 2! When performing transcription processing on multiple different character strings to be edited, the character string J to be edited is processed for each character string to be edited.

[Embodiments] Hereinafter, embodiments of a document editing device according to the present invention will be described with reference to the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing an embodiment of a sentence B collection device according to the present invention. In the figure, a keyboard 11 and a mouse 12 connected to the keyboard 11 are used to input various data and commands. In addition, the keyboard 11
The mouse 12 has a button (hereinafter referred to as "left shift button") that is pressed to cover when selecting a specific character string from the character string list 1-menu described below, and the mouse 12 has a curved left shift button. It has a button corresponding to the button.

An external storage device (hereinafter referred to as "disk device") 13 stores data (documents) to be edited and program data. The character information storage unit 14 is composed of a RAM, and has a data storage area for temporarily storing information such as f-date, l';n, etc., and a processing target for #2 collection processing of deletion processing, movement processing, and transcription processing. It has a character string storage area that stores the character string that becomes . The character string subjected to the editing process is displayed on the CRT as a character string list menu.

The font ROM 15 stores multiple types of character fonts. The CRT drive circuit 16 is a CR for display.
T17 is controlled, and the character dots read from the font ROM 15 are displayed on the CRT 17.

The control unit (hereinafter referred to as rcPUJ) 18 controls each of the units described above, and also executes predetermined calculations, processing, etc. according to a program corresponding to the input command. Na J3
In the embodiment, the CPU 18 selects the designation 0 in a predetermined document.
Edit processing such as deletion processing, movement processing, transcription processing, etc. is performed on the character string that has been deleted, that is, the character string that has become the target of editing processing.

Next, the editing processing operation of the expenditure 1 aggregator will be explained based on the flowchart of FIG.

First, the operator operates the keyboard 11 or mouse 12 to display the document 20 to be edited and the pop-up menu 21 on the CRT 17, as shown in FIG.
It will be displayed on the screen. The pop-up menu 21 includes a menu item "Copy" that corresponds to a command indicating copy.
, the menu item “Cut” corresponding to the command indicating deletion.
“, the menu item corresponding to the cut and paste command”
It includes menu items corresponding to each command such as "paste", that is, the type of editing process.

By selecting a specific menu item from among these menu items, a command corresponding to the selected menu item, that is, an editing process corresponding to the selected menu item is performed.

The character string list menu 22 shown within the dotted line in FIG. 3 is displayed when the left shift button on the keyboard 11 is pressed.
When the “'Pa5te” menu item is selected, CR
Displayed on T17. Also, in the menu contents shown in Figure 3, the higher the character string, the newer the character string.
For example, the character string "Document creation" is the newest character string, and the character string "Name" is the oldest character string.

Now, as shown in FIG. 3, by a predetermined operation of the mouse 12 by the operator, the character string "Graphic processing" in J3 of sentence m20 is specified as the character string 20A to be edited (step 100), and a pop-up appears. When a specific menu item is selected from the menu 21 (step io
'+>, cpu18, the selected menu item is '
step 102) If "p a st e" is not selected, the command that corresponds to the other selected menu item, that is, the selected At the same time as executing the editing process corresponding to the menu item (step 103), the oldest character string among the character strings stored in the character string storage area of the character information storage unit 14 is deleted, and the character string to be edited is inserted at the beginning. Insert the character string 2OA to update the menu contents of the character string list menu 22 (step 104).In this case,
In the string list 1-menu 22, “name” is deleted,
"Graphic processing" will be inserted, resulting in a character string list menu 23 with updated menu contents, as shown in FIG.

By the way, when the "past e" menu item is selected in step 102, the CPU i 8 determines whether the left shift button is also pressed (Stella 7105) and determines whether the left shift button is pressed. If not, the menu contents of the character string list menu 22 are updated (step 106), and the character string 20Δ to be edited is changed to the second character string list menu in the updated character string list menu, in the same way as in step 104. Replace it with a character string (step 107).

For example, if the menu contents of the character string list menu 22 are as shown in FIG. When selected, the CPtJ 18 updates the menu contents of the character string list menu 22 to the menu contents of the character string list menu 23, and also updates the character string "Graphic processing" in the sentence 120 to the character string list menu 22. Menu 23
The second string in [Create document, replace with 1.

On the other hand, step 102″r-”pa s t e” (
1) If a menu item is selected and the left shift button is also pressed, the CPU 18 lists the strings stored in the string storage area, that is, creates a string list menu 22. In step 108), this character string list menu 22 is displayed on the CRT 17.

Then, when the operator selects a desired character string from the character string list menu 22 displayed on the CRT 17, the CPU 18 selects the character string 2OA to be edited in the character string list menu 22. (step 110), and, in the same way as in step 104, the menu contents of the character string list menu 22 are updated.

For example, if the menu contents of the character string list menu 22 are as shown in FIG. When the character string "Kana conversion" is selected from among them, the CPU 18 replaces the character string "Figure 5fiFIJ" with the character string "Kana conversion" and also selects the oldest character string "Name" from the character string list menu 22. Delete and add the string "shape processing" at the beginning
is inserted to update the menu contents of the character string list menu 22.

According to the above embodiment, when performing transcription processing on multiple character strings to be edited, first, only the character string to be edited is specified, and the specified multiple character strings are , is stored in the string storage area of the character information storage unit 14, and then, by specifying a specific string from among the plurality of strings stored in the string storage area, the specified string is stored in the string storage area of the character information storage unit 14. Character strings can be transcribed to a desired destination.

J3, in the above embodiment, a specific character string is selected from the character string list menu while pressing the left shift button on the -1 = - board, but if the left shift button on the mouse 12 corresponds to It is obvious that you can press a button.
